What is cultivation in Buddhism? If you will... Chan cultivation is life itself. It's not something foreign. It's not something that's out of the ordinary. It's a way of life. If you really understand, you see that Chan is just a way of life. Chan is life. Chan is living. Chan is in everything we do, so that's what the Buddhists like to call it. Especially the Chinese Asians like to call it cultivation, which Westerners find to be a rather strange concept. When they hear cultivation, the image of farming comes to mind. And it's not. Cultivation is to cultivate our minds. Cultivate the good roots in our mind. Cultivation helps the goodness in our minds mature.
